Nimble — Norton 30 Spirit of Tradition Sloop

That boat in every harbor that sticks out in a crowd and makes you take the long way around the anchorage just to have a quick look. Even at rest, you can tell that she is a quick boat with a definitively modern look, yet somehow the word that first comes to mind is ‘classic.‘

Construction

Cold-molded Bruynzeel mahogany plywood with carbon fiber/fiberglass reinforcement. External fin ballast (lead) with a balanced spade rudder. Hall Spars double-spreader deck-stepped mast (black painted).
